-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 36 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 33 of those were killed.
 And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 2 souls claim to have killed him...
 2 killed the bastard and survived.

--------------------------------------------------------------

So... yeah. My first AoB victory, and also my first post.

I found the Cleaver on the 2nd level, and used it for the rest of the game. I was fully stocked on med packs for pretty much the whole game. Found the Onyx armor and modded it with a power mod. Very nice combination, but I used the Angelic Armor for Cybie. I didn't go to the UC, as I have TOO many bad experiences of the AoD. City of Skulls was very easy, thanks to the Butcher's Cleaver + Vampyre combo. I found a total of THREE nukes during the game. That's pretty rare, right? Cleared the mortuary with one of them, thanks to conveniently placed Invulnerability globe. Also cleared the Vaults with a nuke. Was hoping for Inv globe on the last level before Cybie, but unforunately I didn't find one, and therefore missed this "JC" everyone's talking about.

Feels good, especially since I managed to unlock several new challenge modes (half the list :D)

Congrats, fellow berserker!

Butcher's Cleaver and Vampyre means you're getting both master traits at the same time, which is really, REALLY sweet. That's the kind of combination that makes N! Mortuary look like a joke.

I didn't go to the UC, as I have TOO many bad experiences of the AoD.
That's no reason to blow it off completely. At the very least, you can take out the Lost Souls and Demons for some easy experience. If you manage to zerk properly and you're close enough, cool: AoD is a cakewalk. If you don't, leave him be and exit the level. It looks like you weren't attempting a YAAM anyway, so no worries. (Speaking of which, 97% is still impressive.)

I found a total of THREE nukes during the game. That's pretty rare, right? Cleared the mortuary with one of them, thanks to conveniently placed Invulnerability globe. Also cleared the Vaults with a nuke.
Nukes are rare, yes. Three nukes is pretty damn rare, so props to the RNG on that one. It looks like Scavenger Silver is no longer offered for nukes (at least it now works properly otherwise).

Six badges is very cool for an AoB run. Good luck with your next runs!

Yeah, maybe I should have killed those demons and lost souls. I have worked out a strategy btw. Run to the doors right next to the Angel before killing the demons. That way you have much more time to kill the AoD if you berserk fighting those demons >:D

Thanks!

As far as the AoD goes, isn't everyone forgetting about that thrice damned zerk bug?

Spent a while trying to find where someone (I think it was Simon-v or AStranger) basically figured out the exact problem, but couldn't find it. In any case, the bug only occurs when you kill an enemy and proc Berserker at the same time. It's possible to play AoB to some degree (not to mention beat N! AoB SOMEHOW) but I'm staying away from it until there's a fix.

Actually, AoD is perfectly doable in current version. There are two approaches:

-knife-zerk: using knife instead of saw to maximize chance of landing non-lethal zerk blow in the demon's chamber in UC, then switching to saw and immediately going for AoD. 

-lava-bathing: bringing two enviro-suits to UC, and then luring AoD onto the lava path outside the Cathedral, escaping from him until he dies- it takes a while, so two suits are necessary.
